Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns, Systems, and Design Paperback - 2013
by Francis D. Ching; Barry S. Onouye; Douglas Zuberbuhler
From the rear cover
An updated new edition of the illustrated reference on structural design from bestselling author Francis D.K. Ching
Structures are an essential element of the building process, yet one of the most difficult concepts for architects to grasp. While structural engineers do the detailed consulting work for a project, architects should have enough knowledge of structural theory and analysis to design a building. Building Structures Illustrated Second Edition takes a unique approach to structural design, showing how structural systems of a building - such as an integrated assembly of elements with pattern, proportions, and scale - are related to the fundamental aspects of architectural design.
This one-stop guide to structural design in practice treats structural design as part of the entire building process and offers an overview of the historical development of architectural materials and structure. This updated new edition features:
- New information on building code compliance, additional learning resources, and a glossary of terminology
- Thorough coverage of formal and spatial composition, program fit, coordination with other building systems, and code compliance
Beautifully illustrated throughout in Francis D.K. Ching's signature style, Building Structures Illustrated enables students and professionals to make informed decisions in architectural design.
